Was looking through the Courier Mail yesterday and noticed that the tide differences for around Brisbane was about 2 metres between high and low. Then I noticed that the tide differences for Port Alma was about 5 metres between high and low.
Got onto a website and found that the tide differences for Cairns were roughly about the same as around Brisbane.
Why is it that certain locations have huge differences compared to other places? I know it's a full moon at the moment, but I'm disregarding that.
Nothing too technical if you respond please; I used to be a public servant in the Forestry Department before I retired, therefore I'm not required to know anything.
